Get ready for a heartwarming episode of "Everybody Needs a Nudge" featuring the wonderful Shannon Sullivan! Join us as we dive into Shannon's life, starting off in the charming town of Pembroke alongside her brother Steve O, a familiar face from a previous podcast.

Shannon's soccer journey takes center stage, leading her to the halls of Notre Dame Academy. Faced with the challenge of funding her college dreams, she ingeniously joined a club team to up her chances of getting scouted. Spoiler alert: it worked! Northeastern came knocking, and Shannon rocked varsity soccer while conquering a degree in communications and media throughout her time there.

Post-college, Shannon cranked up the volume on her love for music, landing a gig at a radio station. A career twist (and the lovely Daryce) led her to an impressive nine-year stint at Blue Cross Blue Shield before venturing into the non-profit realm. She met her husband through a coed soccer league, and the duo fulfilled their dream of settling down in the lively Southie. Plus, we'll dish on her journey through motherhood, a return to Pembroke, and her current gig in the scenic Duxbury, working for Vetcor.

This episode isn't just a stroll down memory lane – it's a rollercoaster of laughs, touching on the impact of education on creativity and reminding us all not to get caught up in comparing our journeys to others' highlight reels. Shannon's wisdom shines as she underscores the importance of building networks and self-sufficiency. Don't miss out on the fun – hit play now!
